Donnymere Glade Lyrics by Blake Hodgetts

Blindsight

2003

On my way through Donnymere Glade
I met with a weeping maiden
I asked her why was such a young maid
With so many sorrows laden?
"O sir," she said
"T'were better I were dead
Than live with the curse I bear
And e'en the morning sun is hidden by its shade
If you could bid this evil fade
Your ring I'd wear
In Donnymere Glade"
In sympathy I then did agree
To do what I might to free her
(And truth to tell so fair was she
It was no duress to see her)
So as she rose
She told me of her woes
On her there was cast a spell
So that she could not love nor marry until
One hero could three sentinels kill
She hoped full well
I could this fulfill
So off we went to meet with the first
My heart beating fast within me
And somehow ne'er thought I of the worst
That some evil wight might skin me
At last it came
The object of our game
A ravening wolf with wings
I drew my sword and fought and finally prevailed
I had some scratches but it was impaled
Some scars and stings
But I hadn't failed
The second foe did shortly appear
A troll with a mace and hatchet
And once again I never had fear
That I was a fool to match it
I came to harm
I nearly lost an arm
But by blind luck came through
And as I lay there pale and bleeding on the ground
She kissed me gently and brought me around
"That's two for two
One more to be found"
I hobbled lamely up to the place
She said that the third would meet me
That troll had smashed my leg with his mace
Who knows why he didn't beat me
I looked around
And scattered on the ground...
I gasped and my blood ran cold
I saw the skulls and bones of those who'd gone before
Of those who had for love made war
Foolhardy, bold
And ended in gore
My mind was clear, and just in time
For there stood a fiery dragon
And by my side his partner in crime
Awaiting my final agon-
Y..."Dear, I must
Be going and I trust
You'll pardon if I don't stay
But though I wish you well and hope that you'll be free
Your matrimony will not include me."
I ran away
Pragmatically
And now no more near Donnymere Glade
Will you find your humble servant
And not so fast will I follow a maid
Be ever her pleas so fervent
For I have learned
That honour must be earned
But violence I deplore
And so I'll stay at home and sing a serenade
There's nothing I'd rather not be than filleted
So I'll no more
To Donnymere Glade
